,, ,. "With tho temporary settlement of their
dlrrc'rcnces, both factions wero miro of an
overwhelming success for alt the Organlza-
tlon candidates In Allegheny County. Thoy
thought that everything would be exceed
ingly well. But they had not reckoned with
tho avcrngo voter of the party, nor with
', his memory, which went, back a few yearn
alnco to the first In which Mayor Armstrong
uccecded "Bill" Magee, and which remem
bered promises Armstrong made that wero
' never kept.
E. V, Dabcock, millionaires lumberman,
was being boosted for tho next Mayor by
tho Armstrong faction during thn ante-
election turmoil, while the Olivers wero
playing up Dr. Jnmcs Kerr, chairman of
City Coianclls. Bnbcock Is said to have
gubernatorial aspirations that nro heavily
backed by Armstrong, and It Is this pri
marily that has caused the differences bo
tweeh the two fnctlons that brought tho
Republican voters to tho realization that
tho sooner the selfish Interests dominating
, ; the party are eradicated, the better It will
bo for the party Itself.

MEANING OF DEFEAT
Tho defeat of Barchfleld and Coloman,
the two protectionist Congressmen from dis
tricts captured by the Democrats, was taken
aa a subject of an editorial today by tho
Dispatch, In which the Interests dominating
tho party were castigated.
"These leaders," said the Dispatch, "blind
to every Interest but their own and tho
special Interests that financed the campulgn
that brought them Into party power, were
responsible for the "votes of the Congress
men upon the Adamson and other measures
that wore plainly In opposition to the de
sires of a majority of the people of their
districts, their constituents.
"Barchfleld and Coloman aro destroyed
. political manikins, because they believed
; the voice of the political dictator was
' ! greater than the voice of the people."
Tho effect of the attltudo of so many of
the Republican, voters was taken today as
an Indication that the war would be to tho
nd on the Fenrose-Ollvcr-Babcock-Leslle
machine) Mayor Armstrong and his fac
tion will not be tolerated, either. If they
persist In using the Jtepubllcan party as
a means of selfish advancement.

clpal business district of tho city which the
committee proposes to havo widened Into
broad avenues to enre for trafllc.
The circuit recommended and viewed to
day Includes sections of Itace. Eighth. Lo
cust nnd Sixteenth streets, the Idea being
to. widen nil those streets to a width of
about 134 feet so as to provide for tile
heavy through trafllc. thus relieving con
gestion on Market and other streets,
As a part of tho plan to finance the big
undertaking, the Mayor's aid Is sought with
reference to proposed amendments of the
State Constitution allowing nscsnments to
bo levied against nil properties, whether
nbutllng or not, which nre benefited by the
enlargement or widening of public high
ways. Tho central (raffle circuit scheme ImB
long been the subject of study by the De
partment of Public Works and the Uiircnu
of Surveys, and the mnt linn , fnt- i,,nn
tho principal drawback to tho final action
on me suuject ty councils.

farowoll. Ono wns a "poison-pen" writer
who sent Innumerable letters to tho Punk
hursts nHsalllng her chnrncter. The other
was that she was city-born and bred nnd
tho city's call was too strong.
"Wo never paid any attention to tho let
ters," said Mrs. Panlthur.it. "We showed
them to Mary, then destroyed them. But
sha seemed to brood over them. We are
disappointed with our experiment and we
nro sorry that Mary Is gone, for wo shall

natliifled with our farm home and life.
However, tho offer Is still open and we are
looking for nnother girl from nmong tho
1700 who applied In August, 1910."
